It was in May when we started to get excited about the upcoming Diamond Jubilee. M&S announced that they'd be celebrating the occasion by selling vintage underwear. It was actually vintage style underwear, the pants were really new pants. In that respect I had one up on M&S. But I was wearing my M&S jubilee knickers when I watched the actual ceremony. And when Prince Philip had to be taken to hospital I was ready to wear them at half-mast.

He was 90. When I'm that old I hope I can still flirt with women. Heck, when I'm that old I hope I can still manage zips.

It was in May that François Hollande became the new president of France. He beat Nicolas Sarkozy so he had some pretty small shoes to fill. Small, but with built up heels. Still, we couldn't mock. The UK was in a double-dip recession, which George Osborn blamed on Europe, but figures came out saying Europe had avoided a double-dip. What did we expect? In May we found out that the most talented Brit was in fact a dog called Pudsey.
